Reply to comment by Tamadrummer88 in US opens investigation into Tesla seat belts coming loose by StevenSanders90210

Indeed their cars are safe, but they don't have a compelling EV (I'll never drive an ICE car again), certainly not comparable in terms of software and charging network.

And their cars can't get safer via software updates as Teslas can and do. Since I've had mine in less than two years, software updates have improved seat belt tensioning and air bag deployment. All based off of crash data from the fleet.

Improved seat belt tensioning through software updates? Yeah no way would I get a vehicle where a software update can manipulate federally mandated safety equipment.

Yeah. I would not be surprised if they started to charge for those updates. Or that footage of your crash. Speculative I know but nothing Elon does instills confidence in me with respect to new technology. No thanks.

In California at least and GDPR regions, they can't charge for the data.

The amount of data I received is quite impressive.

I’m glad people like them. I just have no interest personally.
